The Hunter-Clyde Watershed Group will be hosting their 2018 Annual General Meeting at the North Rustico Lions Club on Tuesday, May 1st starting at 7:00pm with our guest speaker Sean Landsman.
The Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada has awarded $288,848 to the Hunter-Clyde Watershed Group over a four year period to retire the existing concrete fish ladder and install a natural fishway out of Campbell’s Pond in New Glasgow, PEI. The natural rock design will restore migration runs for Trout, Rainbow Smelt, Alewife, American Eel and other small coastal fishes. The goal of this project is to increase fish populations and biodiversity within the watershed to improve angling resources for the local fishing community on the North Shore of Prince Edward Island.
Campbell’s Pond news!
And… everybody who loves the pond and has fished the pond regularly for many years are terrified that the project will destroy the fisherie and the pond like the “project” in Wheatley River. I’ve heard many people explain how good the fly fishing was at Rackhams… before the big project, now there’s barely any water and it’s barely worth fishing anymore. Let’s hope a lot of research was done at Campbell’s before the bulldozers get there… sometime’s its wiser to leave something that’s working alone.
